While it was reported on September 17, 2026, that the United States refused to issue visas to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and his delegation to attend the 81st United Nations (UN) General Assembly, he will address the assembly via a pre-recorded video message. In his address to the General Assembly, Abbas will reiterate Palestine's commitment to the two-state solution and international law, while warning that Israeli settlement expansion and violence in the West Bank are narrowing the chances for establishing an independent state. Additionally, in this speech, he will announce the date for holding legislative elections and condemn Israel's attacks on Gaza.
In an upcoming scheduled speech, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is expected to renew the call for a two-state solution to achieve a permanent resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, anticipated on September 17, 2026. In this address, he is expected to highlight the importance of securing the freedom and rights of the Palestinian people and establishing an independent state in accordance with international law. Furthermore, reports indicate he will urge the international community to exert more pressure toward implementing the two-state solution to achieve regional stability and lasting peace.
